After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

Now that Jiang Wan has a position, she naturally has to go to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the Queen every day.

When it was still bright the next day, she was woken up by Jin Ping and Xiang Ning, and she got up and made preparations to say goodbye.

Generally, the time to go to pay respects is at Mao hour, so the concubines in the harem have to get up at least half an hour in advance, that is, they have to get up and dress up at Tianyin hour.

When Jiang Wan was still at home, her family loved her and were usually reluctant to let her get up so early. Instead, they let her get up by herself after getting enough sleep. If it were in the past, she might not be able to get up so early. Fortunately, she has been getting up at around this time since entering the palace, so she is basically used to getting up so early.

Of the two, Xiang Ning is the more ingenious and good at combing hair, so she is responsible for combing Jiang Wan's hair.

Soon Xiang Ning gave Jiang Wan a beautiful Chaoyunxiang bun, and then inserted the pearl-wound flower hairpin that the emperor had gifted her yesterday into her head, and put on a pair of pearl earrings for her, simple and elegant. nice.

After all, Jiang Wan is just a small promise now, and she dresses low-key so as not to stand out.

The clothes she wore were picked up by Jinping from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although they were not luxurious, they were made of good materials and were very comfortable to wear.

It is said that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. After Xiang Ning dressed up like this, Jiang Wan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and almost didn't recognize it was herself.

"Xiang Ning, your hands are so skillful." Jiang Wan couldn't help but praise.

Xiang Ning only knows how to comb such a complicated bun, and she can only wear a simple hairstyle.

Xiang Ning was naturally happy when she heard her master's praise.

"My slave can basically do any kind of bun, including flying bun and soaring cloud bun. If my mistress likes it, I will do it differently for you every day from now on."

Xiang Ning learned how to put on beautiful makeup and hair from an old palace maid, but because she accidentally offended a palace maid in charge, she was assigned to Linlang Pavilion. Linlang Pavilion had no master, and her skills were never put to use. Well, now that Jiang Wan has come to Linlang Pavilion, her skills have come in handy.

"Then I'll leave the job of dressing up for me to you in the future," Jiang Wan said.

"Thank you for your trust, little master. I will serve you well." This is an important job for the master, so Xiang Ning is happy to accept it if he can get his attention.

Kunning Palace is not close to where Jiang Wan lives. It takes two cups of tea to walk. Jiang Wan did not dare to waste time. After packing up, he led Jinping to Kunning Palace. As for Xiang Ning and Xiao Xi, they were Stay in Linlang Pavilion to look after the house.

When Jiang Wan arrived at Kunning Palace, many concubines had already arrived. Emperor Jiaqing had more than 20 concubines in his harem, so they were all familiar with each other. When they saw Jiang Wan coming, the concubines couldn't help but look at her secretly.

Although Jiang Wan appeared for the first time, the emperor fell in love with a little palace maid in Linhua Palace and asked her to do what she promised. The news had already spread in the palace. Therefore, everyone knew that Jiang Wan was a new face. She must be the newly sealed Jiang who agreed.

Emperor Jiaqing's plot by Li Zhaoyi was suppressed, so other people in the harem didn't know the reason why Jiang Wan was granted the title. They thought that she was chosen as a concubine because of the emperor's fancy.

I thought she was a beautiful little palace maid who won the favor of the emperor. Unexpectedly, when I saw her now, I found that she was not very good-looking. Although she was a little beauty, she was not outstanding among the beauties in the harem. , posing no threat to them at all, so they quickly lost interest in her.

"Don't worry Wanwan. Now you are just making a small promise. The women in the harem will not go out of their way to embarrass you." Seeing Jiang Wan's nervousness, the system comforted him.

Of course Jiang Wan knew that what the system said was right. She was just a small person and not worthy of the attention of those ladies. However, it was her first time to come to greet her and face so many noble people in the palace, so she was nervous.

"Just get used to it." The system knew that Jiang Wan came from a small place, and it was normal for her to be timid. But once or twice was okay, but she couldn't always be like this. After all, she wanted to survive in the harem and gain the favor of Emperor Jiaqing. , then she will definitely have to compete with these palace concubines for favor.

"Yeah." Jiang Wan took a deep breath and encouraged herself.

There is nothing to be afraid of. She is a systematic person and a special being. Only she can bear the emperor's child. This alone is her greatest confidence.

"Sister Jiang, I didn't expect us to meet again." At this moment, a soft-looking woman walked over to Jiang Wan and greeted her.

Jiang Wan looked for a voice, and when she saw the familiar face of the other party, she recognized the other party's identity.

Feng Siyu, who entered the palace with her before to run for election, was one of the seven show girls who were selected to stay.

The other party did not have Lin Yue's good fertility physique and was not from a high family background, so he was only named a noble person after sleeping with her.

However, even though it was only the rank of a nobleman, it was still higher than Jiang Wan's status.

"Sister Feng." Upon seeing this, Jiang Wan bowed to her and bowed.

"Congratulations to my sister. We sisters should move around more in the future." Feng Guiren held Jiang Wan's hand intimately and said with a smile.

"I also hope that my sister won't think that my sister is bothering me." Although they were drafted together at the beginning, they didn't talk much, and their relationship was only average. However, the other party took the initiative to show his kindness, and Jiang Wan certainly would not refuse her kindness.

Although there are no real friends in this palace, it is still possible to make a few allies. After all, the concubines are also divided into small groups.

"How could it be possible? It's too late for me to be happy that my sister can come." Feng Guiren said.

While the two of them were chatting, more and more concubines came to pay their respects, but they were all concubines with low status. Those concubines with high status usually came last.

Feng Guiren entered the harem two months earlier than Jiang Wan. She knew all the concubines in the harem. She was afraid that Jiang Wan would not recognize these concubines, so she kindly told her.

The time for greetings was getting closer and closer, and those high-ranking concubines came with all the money from the palace maids.

Seeing these high-ranking concubines, all the lower-ranking concubines had to bow to them.

Because Concubine Shu and Li Zhaoyi were currently banned, they did not come to pay their respects.

In addition to these two people, Lin Baolin also did not come to pay his respects. Of course, Lin Baolin was different from Concubine Shu in that they were banned from leaving the palace by the emperor. The reason why Lin Baolin did not come to pay his respects was because the emperor and the queen mother were not allowed to leave. received her daily greetings.

Now Lin Baolin was pregnant. She was the child that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had been waiting for for many years. Naturally, it was extremely precious. For fear of some accident, she would not be willing to let her get up early every day to say hello.

Not long after the concubines arrived, they heard an older nun walking out of the palace and said to everyone: "The Queen, please let all the ladies in."

Soon everyone followed inside.

"Greetings to the Queen, she is a thousand years old!" Jiang Wan stood at the back and followed the concubines to salute the Queen.

"No courtesy." The queen's voice was steady and full of dignity.

Although the queen was also present on the day of the election, Jiang Wan only had time to take a sneak peek at the emperor and did not see the queen sitting next to the emperor at all. Therefore, it was her first time to see the mother of a nation.

The queen looks dignified and elegant, and her bright yellow auspicious dress embroidered with hundreds of birds and phoenixes makes her extremely noble and majestic.

As low-level concubines, they are not qualified to sit down. Of all the concubines present, only Concubine Xian, Wang Xiuyi and An Xiurong are eligible to sit down. The others are standing and listening to the Queen's words.

Although Jiang Wan's status was low, the emperor had few concubines in the harem, and because it was her first time to pay her respects, the queen called her to stand up and let everyone recognize her.

However, the queen was very dignified and virtuous, and did not cause any trouble for her, and quickly asked her to retreat.

Originally, according to the rules, after greeting the Queen, the Queen led all the concubines to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother. However, since there were no concubines in the harem to give birth to children, the Queen Mother did not like to see these people in her son's harem. The woman, coupled with her age, changed the rules so that they only have to go and greet her once on the fifteenth day of every month.

Today is not the fifteenth day, which is still far away, so there is no need to go to the Queen Mother's place to say hello.

As usual, the Queen said something like asking everyone to serve the Emperor well, and then asked everyone to go back.
